On
a chilly Friday evening in Paris, France suffered its worst attack since world
war two in a clearly coordinated attack which claimed the lives of 153
innocent Parisians in a frantic 30 minute spell of carnage that will
be etched firmly into the memories of those most affected and those like us who
send our sympathy, condolences and support.
It's
way too early to speculate who planned and executed this attack but many
already have their suspicions that ISIS were behind yesterday events
though there's very little evidence to support the theory. However, ISIS have
made their position clear on the attack celebrating the carnage and offering a
flimsy rationale as to why the attacks took place.
As
to what happens next is unclear but we're likely to see France take
an even more hawkish stance towards international terrorism than it has
already and, unfortunately, more vitriol thrown in the
direction of Islam and Muslims across the
board as the attacks will embolden voices from the right calling for
tougher legislation on immigration and maybe even a tougher stance
towards France's Arabic diaspora from law enforcement.
However,
what happens from now into the near future, France will have to confront the
human damage caused by the attacks but with the world by their side
offering their support and by their side, they won't confront it alone.
